It actually works.  Thanks to all who provided that clue.

Yes, that's better; I end up in sysinst with that disk.

I'm now at the point where I can fish or cut bait.  This is the
only Sparc that I have access to at the moment, so I want to make
sure that I have everything I might need before proceeding and
overwriting the existing Solaris installation (which I don't have
media for), thereby losing the ability to write floppies.

I have a vague recollection of a utility that can be used on a
dos/windows pc to write big-endian disk images; does anyone know
if such a thing exists and where to get it?
